Скачать или смотреть Starmer criticised for celebrating activist's return from Egypt: 'This is a complete disgrace'

Sir Keir Starmer has been criticised for celebrating the return of a British activist from detention in Egypt in light of his past social media posts.

The prime minister said on Friday that he was "delighted" that Alaa Abd El-Fattah had been reunited with his loved ones in the UK. Historic posts have since emerged of Mr Abd El-Fattah calling for Zionists to be killed.

Shadow Justice Secretary Robert Jenrick has now told Sky News, the prime minister's actions are a "complete disgrace".

He added: "This man should not be in the UK and the prime minister of all people should not be out there welcoming him. He's a dangerous individual and it shames our country that we've expended political capital to get him brought here."
